Really needed other poll options. I think iPeng should have been one of the choices. Depends on which Squeezebox(es) I am using and in what room and why. I really like the features that the WebUI has available so if I am near a PC I will use that. Next is iPeng because I usually have my phone next to me anyway. I do a lot on the Touch. I have a Controller in two different rooms so they are the choice when in those rooms or during parties. I rarely use the IR Remote and when I do it is usually my Harmony 1000, not the factory remote (have 10 of those in a draw without batteries). Transporter is a combination of TransNav Knob and iPeng. On the Booms and SB Radio, I really just use the knob (and iPeng for anything involved). Speaking of 10s of thousands of tracks, try that with CDs. That is one thing I like about Touch, tap and hold while I scroll and I am at a specific letter quickly. Makes it very handy with huge libraries. It takes all day with the Controller, turning and turning the wheel. We need a new 'Touch' Controller. If I had an iPad, I might just only use it. Can't really say for sure though. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77022 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
